Paul Pogba has been linked with an early departure from Manchester United – but where could he go? Odds provided by BetVictor

Manchester United issued a statement on their official website this morning claiming Pogba would miss the Huddersfield game due to illness.

And the 24-year-old insisted on Twitter it was merely sickness that had ruled him out.

“Gutted I won’t be at Huddersfield but I need to get better. Come on United,” he wrote.

Reports this week suggested Pogba could be on his way out at Old Trafford after falling out with Mourinho over not being allowed to play in a 4-3-3 formation.

But Mourinho dismissed the rumours as “bull****’ in his press conference ahead of the FA Cup clash with Huddersfield.

“I would like you to tell me which position Pogba played in against Newcastle,” Mourinho asked the media.

“We played with one six and two eights. We played with Matic as a six, Lingard on the right side of Matic and Pogba on the left side.

“Do you know which is the Pogba’s preferred system? Four-three-three. Do you know Pogba’s favourite position in a 4-3-3? Eight on the left, so it’s easy and honest and objective to say Paul didn’t play well against Newcastle, but don’t let people read things that are not true.

“You are paid to read the game and explain the game. Don’t say bulls***.”
